I'm always excited to see which books have won the major awards (like Newbery and Caldecott)....check it out at the American Library's Association's website.
Preview:
Newbery Winner: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Caldecott Winner: The House in the Night, illustrated by Beth Krommes and written by Susan Marie Swanson.
Fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney will be excited to know that we just added two copies of the third book in this series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw.
This series combines diary-like entries with "stick people" style comic art for a funny book about a middle school boy, Greg Heffley. They are fast to read, and would be recommended for someone who enjoys funny books, like Captain Underpants.
